Unknown asylum seeker numbers up / News / The Foreigner

Unknown asylum seeker numbers up. Norway has granted 1,857 asylum seekers a classified status due to foreign policy reasons and security since 2004. The move makes it impossible for anyone not directly linked with the cases to find out information on the people involved. This includes the police, immigration authorities, criminal police (Kripos), tax officials, and the Ministry of Justice.

The Foreigner is an online publication for English speakers living or who have an interest in Norway. Whether it’s a glimpse of news or entertainment you’re after, there’s no need to leave your linguistic armchair. You don’t need to cry over the demise of the English pages of Aftenposten.no, The Foreigner is here!
